[Verse 1]
C
Longfellow serenade, such were the plans I'd made,
For she was a lady, and I was a dreamer,
with only words to trade.
[Verse 2]
F
You know that I was born for a night like this.
C
Warmed by a stolen kiss, for I was lonely..
G7
and she was lonely.
[Chorus]

Ride, come on baby, ride.. let me make your dreams.-e..true.

C G7 C
There I'll sing to you..my Longfellow serenade.
[Verse 4]
C
Longfellow Serenade, such were the plans I made.
But she was a lady..as deep as the river..
And through the night, we stayed.

And in my way, I loved her as none before.
C
Loved her with words and more..for she was lonely..
G7
and I was lonely.
